Obituary for Robert E. "Bob" Solomon

Robert E. Solomon, 77, of Vermillion, SD passed away peacefully Monday, September 24, at his residence.
Robert was born June 14, 1941 in Burbank, SD to Albert and Leonia Solomon. He attended Vermillion schools and married Joellen (Tootsie) Hughes. From that union they had 5 children.
Bob farmed all his life in the Burbank area. He raised hogs for many years. In his retirement years, he remained active on the farm helping his sons continue the family farm. He was active in 4-H as a youngster, as well as with his children. He loved to play cards with his buddies at Whimps, and many rounds of golf at the Bluffs. His pencil was his favorite wood, and his foot wedge was his favorite club. Bob loved spending time with his grandchildren, and watching the Coyotes play.
He is survived by his two sons; Bob (Crystal) Solomon of Burbank, SD and Jeff (Jamie) Solomon of Dakota Dunes, SD, three daughters; Lynn (Gary) Groethe of Elk Point, SD, Kathy Stone of LeMars, IA and Janell (Curt) Benson of Hartington, NE. He is also survived by a brother Albert Solomon of Cynthiana, KY, two sisters; Blanche Bosteder of Eagle Grove, IA and Louise (Dick) Gregoire of Wakonda, SD, 14 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren, as well as many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers; Tom and Gene.

So sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. He was so full of life. Just like his brother Albert. Whom we here in Ky are great friends with. I had the honor of visiting Vermillon and meeting the Solomon family with my brother Brad a few years ago. We were treated like family. Bob was quite the character! Debbie and I are keeping your family in prayers. My God bless you guys....🙏🏻

May your family find peace and comfort during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Solomon Family,
Please accept both Jeff and my sympathy in the loss of Bob. We both have very fond memories of our visits with him. We both remember him from when we were young 4-H members and his smile and laughter at the fair, and that relationship continued throughout our own children's 4-H years. He was someone that ALWAYS knew you, no matter where he saw you, ALWAYS stopped and visited and was ALWAYS very generous with his friendship. Genuine is the best word we can use to describe Bob. We will remember him with smiles and laughter and hope that you will soon be able to recall only those wonderful memories. In our thoughts and prayers now and in the days to come.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. During this difficult time, I hope you may find comfort in the words of Psalm 34:18, that says God is close to those broken in heart and crushed in spirit. My condolences to the family.

We are so sorry to hear about Bob we always enjoyed visiting with him when we would run into him. I Cindy, there was never a time that when he would run into me and give me some kind of story just so we could tease each other and remembering that laugh I will never forget. Then when John would run into the guys after golfing that is all they could do is talk about anything. We pray the lord will take your hand and guide you thru these difficult days. Give you peace knowing he is at peace and in the lords hands safe. God Bless Cindy and JW
